Lanie out for Alva

Alva will be without its number one receiver for its Week One home game against Oklahoma Christian.
Trent Lanie’s knee began bothering him over the summer, and it was re-aggravated during Alva’s first scrimmage Aug. 14 at Mooreland.
“He got his knee scoped on Thursday,” Alva coach Steve Gale said. “We wanted to get it taken care of before district play and before it develops into something worse.”
Lanie, a senior, had 816 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns last season.
* The Alva-OCS game looks to be a good one. Last season, Alva won at OCS 13-12 after slowing down Saints’ quarterback Landon Greve.
Greve had a tremendous first half, and OCS led going into the break. But Alva made adjustments and slowed Greve down enough to get the one-point win.
Greve, then a sophomore, threw for 357 yards in the game, but was intercepted four times.
Now Greve is gone to Colorado, and it will be converted receiver George Overbey lining up under center for OCS.
“I’ll be honest with you, I wasn’t too sad to hear that he was gone,” Gale said.
